Here is some spectacular video footage taken from the point of view of a radio-controlled aircraft as it flies and dips over and around downtown Manhattan, the Brooklyn and Verrazano-Narrows Bridges, New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.

This aircraft was controlled by a pilot who experienced the flight from a first-person view, via video goggles displaying the live feed from the aircraft’s camera. This type of setup is known to its enthusiasts as FPV, and this video was produced by an FPV group known as Team Black Sheep.
